Recent convert :)

[Amarie0417]

Hi, everybody!

My name is Amy and I am a recent convert to Islam. I found Islam through much trials and tribulations, much questioning of faiths, and I truly feel I have found I am where I am meant to be. I grew up Christian (family and everybody I knew were Christians) but when I got to college something just didn't feel right. Through several years of denouncing religion all together, I found through deep soul searching that the answer was always right in front of me, God was always there.

I would be forever grateful for some company, wether it be through private messages or emails, especially Sisters who can help guide me on the right direction. Since I am new, I really do not know much and would really love to talk to somebody.

I hope everybody is doing well and I can not wait to hear from you!

Welcome to the forum, Amy!

Alhamdulillah it's so nice to have you here with us during Ramadan my dear sister! I am a convert to Islam too and I also found this beautiful deen while I was in college. Grew up in a Christian household too! We have a few things in common already.

May Allah make this Ramadan a productive one for you, multiply your good deeds and strengthen your heart with love, faith and steadfastness. Ameeen

Assalaam alaikum, welcome to IB forum :)

Since you're new to Islam, I thought you might find these links useful: www.kalamullah.com
They have a good media section where you can download recitation audios, videos etc - it's all free :)

Also, http://allahsword.com/pdf/The_Quran_...del_Haleem.pdf I think you'll like this Quran translation, it's good for beginners :)

Above all, Ramadhan Mubarak :)

Wow, I am just so very overwhelmed and happy by all of your responses I have never felt more welcomed in my entire life! Seriously everyone, you have no idea how much your kind words have affected me. I promise that when I unlock the private message function on this site I will be asking for more personal advice that one can not ask on a thread. God has truly brought me to some wonderful people and I will forever be thankful for your kind words. I hope this message finds you all doing well and I can not wait to learn more about you all!

Peace be upon you all,

Amy
